Artist's Description

Inner Peace is done in color ink. I first colored the back ground with watercolor paint and drew everything else over it with ink. This drawing is the first in a series of drawings of underwater women. In this drawing I wanted to capture inner peace that I myself often feel when drawing or simply sitting in the woods by the river with out a worry or thought. This fantasy drawing started as an experiment and turned into a successful series of drawings. When I sat down to draw all I knew was that I wanted to draw, but had no idea what to put on paper. After looking through magazines I finally got inspired. I took a few references of the pose from the magazine and combined it in a sketch. I decided that this was a perfect opportunity to use my color ink set, so instead of coloring using watercolor I used ink. I decided that for underwater theme wavy line approach to inking would work well. The underwater towers were born after I already finished the face. I knew I couldn’t leave the back ground blank, so I started brainstorming possible backgrounds and eventually decided old looking towers would combine well with the overall theme of serenity and peace. I decided that cool colors and the peaceful water will help underlining the feelings portrayed in this drawing.

I happen to like the way this looks… and it does look like something from ‘underwater’ here. The curls and swirls do the picture great justice and gain it texture as well. Quite amazing in presentation. Great work here.You have been Featured in “Art and ink so free.”
